Shutters inc – episode 307

This week, Sydney-siders have an opportunity to learn shooting HD video on their DSLR’s at a two day workshop next weekend at the Australain Film Television and Radio School.
Carl shared this feel good story about the winner of a Net Geo traveller photo contest…. or something like that. Don’t ask ME for the story! I have no idea.
Rebecca Dunstall shared this on Facebook, and I thought it was worth sharing here. A photographer took a bunch of old b+w photos and gave them a new lease on life.
Adam alerted us to an MIT project that’s aiming to produce a camera which will never overexpose an image, plus here’s a second link,
and to the story of the guy who developed the first digital camera whilst working at Kodak. And in true stoicism (brownie points if you know where I picked THAT word up from this week), his bosses didn’t want a bar of it.

“Print had been with us for over 100 years, no one was complaining about prints, they were very inexpensive, and so why would anyone want to look at their picture on a television set?”

Glynn has spent the week playing with new gear.
His new Tamron lenses (one of which has just been awarded lens of the year) produced these two images [ 01 | 02 }
His international events are selling out fast, and he’ll be launching another one soon!
Pesky drones over your airspace? Deal with them!
But this one looks bigger! But only shoots images, not drones.
10 portraits at different focal lengths,
the self portrait with a meteorite.
Need a bluetooth iPhone shutter release?
Perhaps you’d like one shaped like a roll of film, or perhaps a twin lens reflex?
The Samsung 16TB SSD,
and in the “why didn’t someone do this sooner” category, dpreview has the story about PixBuf – social photo sharing made easier.

I have been a professional audio engineer since the mid 80's and am happy to do for free in my spare time what I get paid to do during the week. I created Shutters Inc in May 2005, and it is today (as best as I can tell) THE longest-running photography podcast in the world.
